The whites are closing in on the League title and it might not need the match against Osasuna to be the decider, if Villareal loses the match against Getafe, Real Madrid will be crowned <i>Campeonas</i> again. If Villareal win, Los Merengues can still celebrate if they beat Osasuna in their home. It won't be an easy match for the Los Blancos as the relegation battling Los Rojillos will give everything to match their performance.
